A Novel Hydrogen Storage Technique. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, June 2009, Pages: 124
Today's energy needs and environmental concerns push
the development of renewable and efficient energy
systems. Fuel cells running on hydrogen are likely to
become these engines. Significant progress has been
made to improve these systems. However, they need to
be backed up by efficient hydrogen storage containers
in order to enable a full hydrogen based economy.
Current storage techniques do not satisfy the needs,
as they were not designed for such an application and
in that extend. Therefore novel storage methods have
recently been subject to many research activities
including this work. The concept proposed herein
features a high pressure tank wall with dual
functionality, as to store some amount of hydrogen
and provide strength at the same time. Basic
structural modeling was performed to determine
required material properties for such a wall with the
aim to lighten the way in pursue of novel materials
for such an application.
